What Is a Good Tog for A Summer Duvet?
Hot summer evenings often lead to tossing and turning (yawn!). One way to avoid this is by switching up your regular duvet for a lightweight summer option. A good tog rating for a summer duvet is between 2.5 and 4.5 togs. During warmer months, it’s important to have a duvet that tots up enough snuggle points without making you overheat.
If you prefer a slightly warmer option, a 4.5 tog duvet strikes the perfect balance between breathability and lightweight comfort. Here at George, we’ve got plenty of summer duvet options from the biggest brands including Silentnight, Slumberdown and George Home.
Keep Things Cool
When it’s hot, hot, hot – ditch your duvet altogether and sleep under crisp sheets, or light throws instead. Another fab way to combat the heat is by placing a fan near your bed – aircon dupe? Yes, please.
Choosing bedding in light colours is also a neat way to deflect heat and keep your snooze space cool.

All Things Cotton
Choosing cotton sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers is a fab way to maximise the comfort of your bed.
Cotton is a natural fibre, which allows your skin to breathe, keeping the temp of your bed low through the night. Did you know? The colour of your bedding can also influence how cool you feel. For chilled summer evenings, we’ll be reaching for fresh white duvet cover sets.
For a calming effect, mix and match soothing blues, greens, and greys, if you’re chasing a pop of colour. You’ll be amazed at how effective this simple method can be, you can thank us later!
Best Blackout Curtains
Longer evenings are a cause for celebration, but with them comes bright mornings (yawn!). To get some more shut eye in the morning, and to drift off a little easier at night, upgrade your curtains to blackout curtains or blackout blinds.
As well as blocking out those sunny rays, blackout designs also protect bedrooms from unwanted daytime heat. Sweet dreams, incoming – Zzzz!

Small touches, like new home accessories can make a big difference to your space. They’re also a quick and easy way to refresh the look of rooms throughout the year.
Revamp your bedroom for the sunny season with bright and vibrant summer home accessories. They’re the perfect way to add a splash of colour to your pad and require little-to-no effort. Embrace the colour of the season with sunshine yellow cushions and liven up plain walls with slogan wall décor and dazzling mirrors.
These subtle enhancements can truly elevate the ambiance of your space and create a delightful summer atmosphere.
